Weare Hotel La Paz

Returning customer from 2 years ago. Enjoyed my visit. The staff were so nice. A big shout out to Fran and also the German gentleman and young guy from reception who checked me out. I am looking forward to returning in the near future. I am a quiet person so I enjoyed the peace in this part of Puerto de la Cruz. I am sad to be leaving. I hope next time to try and book two weeks next time.

We came here last November and loved it so much we booked immediately to come back in May. It’s a little gem of a hotel, a little tatty around the edges but spotlessly clean and the staff are absolutely fantastic, and work all the hours that god sends. From the minute we checked in Sergio on reception welcomed us back and gave us the most beautiful room. We were amazed how many staff remembered us, hopefully for the right reasons! Fabio was tireless keeping everyone happy with his entertainment and exercise programmes, although absolutely no pressure to take part in anything. We became addicted to the after dinner bingo, despite not quite the age demographic of the hotel. Thankfully the hotel guests are primarily Spanish pensioners, it’s actually a relief to escape any embarrassing Brits abroad. We did struggle with the language a bit, but we did our best and they were lovely. Pool area is quite small but the garden is beautifully maintained. They have added LED’s around the pool at night, but think they may have been better suited to a football stadium and perhaps a softer light may have been more suitable. Great location, elevated above the beach and crowds. Plenty of little shops, bars and restaurants surrounding the hotel, if you fancy a change or you can walk down the colourful Agatha Christie steps down to the main strip…not for the faint hearted on the way back up. There is also a gorgeous Lido in Puerto de la Cruz if you fancy a bit more space occasionally and only €7 entrance fee and all food and drinks all reasonably priced. This time we went to Loro Parque and that amazing. I’m not into zoos particularly but this one was out of this World. We went to the Killer Whale show and we were absolutely drenched by the Orcas and the dolphin show was incredibly moving…they clearly LOVE their trainers and they are so well looked after. Before I stop rambling, I’d just like to mention the hardworking and hilarious Zeb (a absolute perfectionist with his Canarian coffees) and Julia and Luis Garcia, in the restaurant. Lucas for attempting to teach us Spanish and making the best Sangrias and Pina Coladas ever…and Santiago for being a nutter. Perfect staff, an absolute diamond in the rough and I hope we can afford to go back soon. I just hope I don’t make it too popular :-)
